Harry Price remains the most famous psychical researcher of all time. The Most Haunted House in England (1940) is his own vivid account of, arguably, his most well-known case. Borley Rectory was a vast, warren-like, Victorian building renowned for poltergeist activity, wall-writing, and strange manifestations. Most notably, the forlorn figure of a spectral nun, seen by countless witnesses over many decades.
